Learn More About the Benefits of UnitedHealthcare
Does your family have a dental insurance plan from UnitedHealthcare (UHC)? If so, you can regard it as something precious! Not only can it allow you and your loved ones to get low-cost preventive care, but it might also step in to reduce the financial strain of more extensive procedures. How can you get the most out of your plan? As an in-network UnitedHealthcare pediatric dentist and orthodontist in Nashua, NH, our team is eager to assist you.
UnitedHealthcare Coverage Availability & Fees
UHC offers several different dental plans, which each have their own set of fees, stipulations and benefits. We recommend that you set aside a bit of time to review the details of your unique policy so you can get an idea of how it works in different circumstances.
In the meantime, we can provide some general notes on how UnitedHealthcare plans often work:
- Preventive services, such as cleanings, exams, routine X-rays and fluoride treatments are often 100% covered.
- Basic services, like fillings, are up to 80% covered, though some plans with lower premiums offer a lower level of coverage.
- Major treatments, often including crowns, are up to 50% covered.
- Orthodontia for kids may only be covered on premium plans. Your policy might provide up to 50% coverage, up to the amount of your lifetime orthodontic maximum.
As an in-network UHC dentist, we have a contract with your insurance company that regulates fees and promotes a high standard of care. That means you are likely to get more for your money when you visit us, rather than an out-of-network provider.
Plus, if your child needs major dental services, we might be able to schedule them across calendar years. That can allow you to use two annual benefit limits (also called annual maximums) instead of just one. Since many policies impose an annual maximum of $1,000 - $2,000, splitting up treatments could equate to some major savings!
